hurt people, damage things, etc.? It's obvious that he's not getting much out of church anyway, and the priest was more than fair to offer to come to the house, use a video feed, etc. I think this is a case of Mom simply acting like an entitled asshole, frankly.

Years ago in the UU Church I attended, we had to do the same thing to a member family. The children were simply out of control--they hit other kids, and if they had to use the bathroom, they stuffed rolls of toilet paper into the toilets. These kids were ages 7, 8 and 10. The father had the grace to apologize and understand why he could no longer bring his kids. We all felt sorry for them, but church really isn't a psychiatric facility -- we had several members with mental problems, but once anyone got violent, that was it.
